Wishing a very Happy Birthday to Nightingale Shreya Ghoshal. May you keep rising and shining :)

On this day when every fan of Shreya is in a celebratory mood, I decide to write a quick filmography(with minute details of each song) of Shreya.

Though I will not be able to write complete filmography as she has sung thousands of songs in every language, but I will try to cover her chartbusters from each year (though every song of hers is a chartbuster. Please note that I am including songs only from movies and not non album songs.

I am writing her filmography starting from 2002. I will cover her songs in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada.

The selected filmography is as per the list prepared by me and not Wikipedia.

2002

- 2002 kickstarted with a voice which every music lover, every music director and every producer was eagerly waiting for. The mesmerizing voice made everyone go "Isshhh". Be it Silsila Ye Chahat Ka, Morey Piya, Bairi Piya or Dola Re Dola, every song had its own charm and people were going gaga over the new and spell bounding voice.

Along with Devdas, her two songs from the movie "Zamanat" were also released.

She also got a break in Tamil music industry by Karthik Raja in the movie "Album". Later in 2002, her first Tamil song with Ilayaraja titled "Gundu Malli" also released.

The composers in Telugu Industry like Mani Sharma, Deva, etc also became her fans. Shreya recorded two songs for Mani Sharma for the movie "Okkaddu". The super combination of Shreya - Ilayaraja also came up with their first Telugu song "Sari Sari" from the movie "

2003

- 2003 came up with a lot of melodious songs of Shreya. Her first collaboration with Shankar - Ehsaan - Loy in the movie "Armaan". The song was "Tu Hi Bata Zindagi" and it had super high notes which was a "baaye haath ka khel" for Shreya even at that young age. Anu Malik was in awe of her voice and he came up with a lot of songs with SG in 2003, starting from Inteha, Munnabhai MBBS, Saaya (my personal favorite), LOC Kargil. Sajid - Wajid also collaborated with her in the movie "Kuch Kaha Aapne".

What makes 2003 most special is the release of Jadoo Hai Nasha Hai and Chalo Tumko Lekar. These songs are there to entertain you forever. The amazing music of MM Kreem and scinitillating voice of Shreya induced the oomph factor in these songs and made everyone go gaga over it.

Shreya made her debut in Kannada music Industry the songs "Krishna Nee Begane" and "Rome Rome" from the movie "Paris Pranaya", with music by Prayog.

Six melodious Tamil songs of Shreya were recorded in 2003 with music directors like Karthik Raja (Oduthey Oduthey) , Ilaiyaraja (Enakku Piditha Padal and Ithayamee and Elangathu Veesuthey) and Vidyasagar (Ye Pennae) and her first song with AR Rahman (Askava from the movie Enakku 20 Unakku 18).

23+ Telugu songs of SG were released in 2003 with music directors like Koti, MM Keeravani, Chakri, Mani Sharma, etc.

How can I forget the beautiful songs of Yahaan, the second official release of Shreya - Shantanu. Naam Ada Likhna became instant an instant hit.

The highlight of 2007 was Saawariya and Om Shanti Om and Shreya had songs in both the movies.

One of my favorites are her songs from "Mohabattan Sachiyan", though they are Punjabi songs from a Pakistani movie, but I can't help but write about them.
